People with Alts

i honeslty dont have the luxury (time) to managing an alt. i do have one alt, but only for testing latency
one is enough

I have an alt that used to get FC members through coil when lockout was in place, but these days it's just there to look pretty in gear that I can't wear or look bad in.

Have an alt too. It was created to help friends with fcob when it had a loot restrictions (or even before that, when you couldn't enter turn, that you already cleared), so they don't have to trade chest for the help. Now it's not relevant, but I'm sure, we will have some form of lockout in 3.0 too, and it will become useful again.

Oh the amount of alts I have... True, it may be pointless to have them since you can be every class on one character, but I feel that certain classes look better on certain characters. I also enjoy giving them little personalities and stuff. *shrug* That's just how I enjoy the game.

Yesterday in Triple Triad Turnament Top20 there was one with his 3 alts.
All with nearly same name!

I don't have any alts right now but I'm a bit concerned about crafting specialization and FC airship crafting.

I made myself a solo FC back before personal housing just to have a house and to be able to garden. If I create an Alt on the same server, how can I get my alt into that FC? Obviously, both characters can't be on at the same time. I'd like to create a couple of alts so that I can have the crafting covered again (currently I'm 4* with Lucis in all crafts plus Lucis gatherer).

Edit; Thanks Xenosan for the advice!

If you have a house, apply to the FC with the alt via the FC sign infront of your home. Login as your main/FC lead character and accept application

I have a level 20 GLD on Zalera and a level 10 THM on Jenova. I rarely play these. I made them to see what life was like on low population worlds. And to be a fake newbie who appears to learn very fast.

I checked them all for the first time in a while last night at midnight EST. There were 24 parties in the PF on Balmung and over 200 people in Uldah. On Zalera there was 5 PF groups and 122 people in Uldah. On Jenova I can't see the PF yet, but there were only 37 people in Uldah. I really don't know how people can stand playing on such a dead world!

I have a few alts. My main gets everything - all classes at 50, quest completionist, etc. My alts don't get that luxury. My Lalafell alt was my 1.0 character so she has a tattoo and a goobbue which is kind of fun, and I can play her if I feel like being a Lala. She's a black mage. Then I have my Roes - my chunky Seawolf lady (who was originally going to be my main) and my burly Hellsguard boy, both of whom are in their 20s.

I'd suggest leveling an alt and doing the bare minimum for the main scenario quest. There are some characters that reappear later in the storyline that I didn't remember until I saw them again during their introduction (Laurentius, for example.)

I have 6 alts.. 5 of them with retainers unlocked. I just need those extra retainers to keep my inventory organized.

It's not that I use all the slots, I just really like to organize them by category. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to organize them all, but it makes crafting so much easier to just pull mats out from each character.

Other than that, I have 2 characters I play with crafts maxed out for specialization, then a third one I'll probably play later because she's pretty.
